SGA: The Lost Tribe

Here are my

I pretty much avoided the spoilers regarding who the aliens really were - so to paraphrase Rodney - I did not see that one coming. Who would? Well without being spoiled that is. I mean, the Asgard. The freaking Asgard. I love it.

I am not sure that Todd believes that Atlantis had not found and set off the Endgame Machine. So he still is going to be ticked off at Atlantis. Yet another enemy made. Or rather two enemies made...one of them being one of the Four Races...

But I did like Todd’s final plan. I think he had intended to live up to his end of the bargain - but Ronon’s actions made that impossible. So he did the next best thing - he turned the ship into the weapon. Rather ingenious - but then Todd is anything but stupid. This is not say Ronon’s actions where the wrong ones. If your enemy takes over your ship - you take it back. Or you make it useless to it new owners. Ronon had no way of knowing why Todd was taking the actions he had. That while Todd was taking the actions to further the Wraith cause - because lets face it, Todd’s chief concern was that the Wraith ships were not going to able to enter into hyper drive. The danger to stargate system was of less importance to him.

I liked that Daniel wasn’t able to convince the renegade Asgard to turn the device off. I liked that they considered the people of the Pegasus Galaxy to be canon fodder. It makes them more dangerous - and a great new threat. I would love to have seen what else they had planned regarding Atlantis’ new adversary.

I was glad that Rodney was able to shut the device off - to end what he started. He had noble intentions - wanting to save Daniel’s life - but should have studied the device more before to see what the side effect was before activating it. He redeemed himself by shutting it off - even risking himself to do it.

Got to love Sheppard’s determination to get Rodney and Daniel back. And the hyperspace jump through the planet. Only John Sheppard would even think of something like that.

I got a kick out of the end. Rodney can only admit it likes or respects someone when they are dying. Or when they are already dead and he is dreaming about the conversation. Or he is talking to clone of said dead person. But it is something he is working on - so good for him.

I have some thoughts on the Keller - Ronon thing, but I am going to post those later. I need a bit of time to pull my thoughts together and think of how I actually want to say it.

sga, episode thoughts
